PENNY DREADFUL Renewed for Season 2

Showtime has picked up PENNY DREADFUL for a second season, the network announced.

“Picking up PENNY DREADFUL was one of the easiest decisions I’ve made,” said David Nevins, President, Showtime Networks Inc. in a statement. “The series has had worldwide impact, drawing big, passionate audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, and more than any other show on our network has hit the bullseye with viewers who want to watch television in all the new ways that are available. John Logan has deftly created an epic series that has drawn raves from a wide-range of audiences from quality drama lovers to critics, to hardcore genre fans. We look forward to working once again with our partners at Sky Atlantic and are extremely excited for what’s in store for season two.”
